In schools, in colleges, in factories, on television" *The Times of India Filmed over four tumultuous years in India, Pakistan, Japan and the USA following nuclear tests in the Indian sub-continent, War and Peace is Anand Patwardhan's documentary journey of peace activism in the face of global militarism and war. The film examines the Indian sub-continent’s trajectory towards militarism and the costs being extracted from citizens in the name of national security. Patwardhan's documentary has become more potent and relevant than ever as we enter an age where war has become perennial, enemies are re-invented and economies inextricably tied to the production and sale of weapons. *"A tour de force, beautifully shot and often darkly funny" *Duncan Campbell, The Guardian *War and Peace (Jang aur Aman) * Director: Anand Patwardhan ~ India 2002 ~ 134 mins ~ Cert: E Hindi, Urdu, Japanese, English with English subtitles *Regent Street Cinema, 309 Regent Street, London W1B 2UW Thursday 15th July at 8:30 pm (20:30) * Introduction to the film by Mehelli Modi (Founder, Second Run DVD) and a short lead in to the current nuclear climate in South Asia by Fathima Nizaruddin (University of Westminster) *Visit *www.regentstreetcinema.com *or call the Box Office: 0207 911 5050 * http://bookings.regentstreetcinema.com/RegentStreetCinema.dll/TSelectItems.waSelectItemsPrompt.TcsWebMenuItem_1284.TcsWebTab_1285.TcsPerformance_63901.TcsSection_10204 *WAR AND PEACE is released on July 27 from Second Run DVD. * *For more information or press requests please contact Chris Barwick * [log in to unmask] / 07907 730100 We have *three copies of Second Run’s WAR AND PEACE DVD to give away*.
